Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 23, 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how BetsAuthority uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://betsauthority.com/. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use, protect, and share information through the website.
BetsAuthority is an online gambling review and information platform. We publish casino reviews, bonus pages, payment method pages, software provider pages, rankings, guides, and links to third-party gambling-related websites. Cookies help us operate the website, improve user experience, protect the site, measure traffic, and track affiliate links that support our work.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to remember information about your visit, such as technical preferences, session activity, security checks, or how you arrived on a page. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, session storage, device identifiers, and tracking parameters.
Cookies can be first-party cookies placed by BetsAuthority or third-party cookies placed by external services used on the site. They may last only for your current browser session or remain on your device for a longer period. Some cookies are necessary for the site to work properly, while others help us understand traffic, improve content, or measure affiliate performance.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for practical website purposes. Without certain cookies, some parts of the website may not work correctly. Other cookies help us understand how users interact with casino reviews, bonus pages, ranking tables, search features, payment method pages, software pages, newsletter forms, and outbound links.
- To load and operate the website correctly.
- To keep WordPress, forms, comments, and basic site functions working.
- To protect the site from spam, bots, abuse, attacks, and suspicious activity.
- To understand which pages are useful and how users navigate the site.
- To improve page speed, layout, content structure, and user experience.
- To remember certain preferences where applicable.
- To measure affiliate clicks and commercial performance of outbound casino links.
- To support embedded content, images, scripts, videos, or third-party tools where used.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are needed for the website to function. They may support page loading, security, WordPress features, anti-spam checks, session handling, form submissions, and basic navigation. These cookies do not usually require consent where they are strictly necessary for the site to work.
Security and Anti-Spam Cookies
Security cookies help protect BetsAuthority against spam, automated abuse, suspicious traffic, scraping, malware attempts, brute-force activity, and other threats. These cookies may work with firewall, CDN, hosting, anti-spam, or bot detection services. They help keep the website stable and safer for users.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use BetsAuthority. They may show which pages are visited, how long users stay, which links are clicked, which devices and browsers are used, and where improvements are needed. We use this information to improve casino reviews, bonus content, site navigation, tables, and guides. Analytics data is usually viewed in aggregated or statistical form.
Affiliate and Tracking Cookies
BetsAuthority may use affiliate links to third-party casinos, sportsbooks, and related services. Affiliate cookies or tracking parameters may record that a user clicked from BetsAuthority to an external website. This helps measure whether a referral or campaign produced a qualifying action. Affiliate tracking supports the commercial operation of the website, but it does not give BetsAuthority access to your casino password, deposit credentials, withdrawal details, or private account documents.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies may remember choices such as language, display settings, form details, or other user experience settings where such features are available. These cookies make the site easier to use by reducing repeated actions.
Embedded Content Cookies
Some pages may include content from third-party services, such as videos, images, social widgets, casino screenshots, provider logos, payment method logos, scripts, maps, or other embedded elements. These third parties may place their own cookies and collect information about your interaction with the embedded content. BetsAuthority does not control third-party cookie practices.
Cookies and Affiliate Links
Affiliate tracking is important to understand because BetsAuthority may earn a commission when users click certain links and later register, deposit, or complete another qualifying action on a third-party website. This does not increase the cost to you. It helps us fund content research, reviews, updates, hosting, testing, and technical maintenance.
Affiliate tracking may use cookies, URL parameters, click identifiers, campaign IDs, or similar methods. These tools are designed to identify referral source and campaign performance. They do not allow BetsAuthority to control your third-party account, approve withdrawals, see your full payment credentials, or access private KYC documents held by an operator.
Managing Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, block third-party cookies, or receive alerts before cookies are stored. The exact controls depend on your browser and device. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you may need to apply settings separately on each one.
If you block or delete cookies, some website features may work less smoothly. Forms, comments, preferences, analytics, affiliate tracking, security checks, and embedded content may be affected. Blocking cookies does not remove information that was already collected before the setting was changed.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies may be used by services that support hosting, analytics, security, advertising, affiliate tracking, embedded content, email subscriptions, or technical performance. These third parties may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing third-party policies if you want detailed information about how those services use cookies.
When you click an outbound link to a casino, bookmaker, payment provider, software provider, or other external website, that third party may place its own cookies. BetsAuthority is not responsible for cookies placed after you leave our website. You should review the external website’s cookie policy and privacy policy before creating an account or submitting personal information.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. There is no universal standard for how websites must respond to these signals. BetsAuthority may not respond to every Do Not Track signal automatically. You can still control cookies through your browser settings, privacy extensions, or device-level controls.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, tools, affiliate relationships, analytics setup, security systems, or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use of BetsAuthority after updates are published means you accept the revised Cookie Policy.
Contact
If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or how BetsAuthority uses cookies, please use the contact method available on the website. Do not send casino passwords, payment details, identity documents, or private gambling account information through ordinary contact forms or public comments.
